    Great initiative!! I donated!! So once you get the iPhone, you will be able to reverse Apple’s official unlock method = forever unlock !?

  2. December 2nd, 2007 at 22:32 | #2

    Thanks for your donation. Yes, that is the goal. Hopefully with the help of the community, this unlock method could be investigated soon enough.

    Just donated €20, I had one of the first US iPhones and hacked it, since then just about everyone I know has bought US iPhones and hacked them (I’m British). Sadly mine was stolen last week in Dakar, Senegal so I’m about to get a new one but it will be 1.1.2 so I’d like to do my bit to help you guys hack them.

    Please keep up the excellent work!

    BearerOfBadNews, hopefully french laws are different, but you never know. We gotta do this fast.

    Nice idea guys – I love when a community comes together like this for a good cause!

    Questions: Why don’t you buy the Iphone already? I am pretty sure you will get more money by selling a “potential” unlock process? Thanks.

  25. December 4th, 2007 at 18:25 | #25

    50saddict, this is against the community spirit. Free unlock!!

  26. 50saddict
    December 4th, 2007 at 18:30 | #26

    well, I agree but buying the iphone already might save some time. You will get your 749 euro in anycase. Don’t you think? Regards. 50saddict

    Hi, Just donated.
    Hope that you guys could reach the goal.

    What is the action plan once you activate the phone at Orange?
    What are you going to do during the unlock procedure? are you going to sniff packets sent from apple to iphone via you pc? what analysis is going to take place? can you please brief us? maybe we can contribute as well with ideas?

  30. December 4th, 2007 at 22:00 | #30

    Hady: I will use mainly usb sniffer, network sniffer and https proxies.

    just donated. hoping to finally put my iphone to good use. good luck.

    December 4th, 2007 at 22:22 | #32

    Hi Macgeek. This sounds very nice. I assume they are using an encryption algo. Good luck with that part to unbreak the packets from the sniffer trace.

    On the other hand, do you have any machines to sniff GMS data?

    It might require 2 keys to unlock this phone. One coming from the provider (orange) via GPRS and the other from apple.

    A third theory could be a key in the Sim card itself.

    Worst case scenario is all 3 :)

    If you want to discuss this further let me know.

    farhad bhayla: Thanks for your support, we are getting close! Hopefully we reach the goal on friday!

  35. December 5th, 2007 at 09:08 | #35

    Take care…
    The phone at 749 euros is NOT unlocked…
    It has just another kind of Lock…
    In place of having a Orange Lock, you got an Orange + SFR + Bouygues Lock !

    Hello.. I live in Thailand and I was planning to order an iPhone for me from the US. I have been looking for a solution for unlocking OTB 1.1.2 iPhones for a week now and I found this site. I really need to know whether this unlock that is being talked about here is guaranteed. If not, will there ever be an unlock and by when? Thank you.

  37. December 5th, 2007 at 10:06 | #37

    Shubham, the only thing that is guaranted is that all efforts will be put to find an unlock solution.

    Just sent you a few euro… best of luck.

    December 5th, 2007 at 10:10 | #39

    So, in your opinion, should I wait to order an iPhone until an unlock solution comes out or is it safe to order now?

  40. December 5th, 2007 at 10:17 | #40

    Wait and see. Contribute if you can.

  41. Shubham
    December 5th, 2007 at 10:56 | #41

    Thanks. I would really love to contribute but unfortunately I’m just a 15 year old with enough pocket money to eat lunch in school. I really appreciate your effort though, and hope that you find a solution very soon.

    Apparently someone has figured out how to unlock the phone with firmware 1.1.2 OTB, could it be a con?

  43. December 5th, 2007 at 14:14 | #43

    DjRamos, this is probably an iPhone with the old bootloader 3.9, not the new 4.6.

  44. rudolf
    December 5th, 2007 at 14:34 | #44

    DjRamos, this is a 3.9 bootloader by checking the serial number on the movie it says week 40 (3to4 char.). Let’s hope macgeek find out a solution. Regards, RB
